The Clash - Ivan Meets G.i. Joe lyrics

So you're on the floor, at 54 Think you can last - at the palace Does your body go to the to and fro? But tonight's the night - or didn't you know That ivan meets g.i. joe He tried his tricks- that ruskie bear The united nations said it's all fair He did the radiation - the chemical plague But he could not win - with a cossack spin The vostok bomb - the stalin strike He tried every move - he tried to hitch hike He drilled a hole - like a russian star He made every move in his repertoire When ivan meet g.i. joe Now it was g.i. joe's turn to blow He turned it on - cool and slow He tried a payphone call to the pentagon A radar scan - a leviathan He wiped the earth - clean as a plate What does it take to make a ruskie break? But the crowd are bored and off they go Over the road to watch china blow! When ivan meets g.i. joe
